Something similar happened to me 8 years ago and I’ve been fine so far. I was worried about it when I got pregnant with my first baby but the OBGYN said that past exposure wasn’t really a concern. And both of my kids have been healthy. I hope this makes you feel better.

Everyone with gas appliances should have CO detectors. You can always call the gas company if you suspect a gas leak anywhere. They will come, quickly, and use a specialized device to detect a leak, at no cost to you.

a smell is added to it by gas companies so people can detect it without special detectors

Natural gas has no smell.

Get a plug in gas leak detector.

Absolutely talk to your doctor about it, how awful, so sorry OP, your landlord really dropped the ball here.

Three months ago my landlord replaced the gas stove in my rental. Right away I noticed a slight smell of gas, he came and checked it out and said no, it’s not gas, it’s the VOCs from the plastics and I needed to “burn in” the appliance. The smell persisted but I only noticed it intermittently. For three months! Yesterday it got really, really bad. He called out a plumber and found out there was a tiny leak in the connector. They replaced it, all is well.

After the initial shock of the whole thing and being thankful I hadn’t been blown up! I stared thinking, are there health implications? I WFH. Maybe it’s placebo, but I swear I have felt off for a while. Tired, headaches, etc. I chalked it up to season and time change and seasonal blues. Should I see a doctor?
